What species is this ?

[giuseppe]

hi,
some mounths ago I taked this particulary species of frogs from Africa but I don't know the name, the classification is difficult I think. In the shop toll me that the name is Xenopus... (eheheh, that's stupid) and I paid they only 3 € each. It is a sub-acquatic species and I think that an adult frog is about 5 cm, not more. The colour is variable, some frog is same to Rana catesbeiana (with many punctuations) and some to Rana esculenta (with a yellow line)
Thank you and excuse me for my english.
Bye
Giuseppe

It looks like the Asian Floating Frog Occidozyga Lima judging by the forearms you have a male, it looks like a raised nuptial pad there.
